Yanling Wang is also affiliated with the School of Economics, Henan University, China. I wish to thank Dr John Baldwin, Director of the Economic Analysis Division (EAD) at Statistics Canada for granting me access to the Canadian plant-level data during 2008–2010. Special thanks go to researchers in EAD for sharing the Trefler tariff data set with me and for providing the hospitality. Since the revision came after I left Statistics Canada and the rules were changed for access to data, Dr Danny Leung from EAD was assigned to be my manager who helped me greatly in the revision. He merged the tariff data set with the plant-level data and helped run the programs for the endogeneity analysis and other related work with professionalism and efficiency. I also benefited greatly from comments by and discussions with Wulong Gu, Marcel Voia, Chi Wan, and Frances Woolley. The comments and suggestions from two anonymous referees and the handling co-editor have improved the paper significantly. Email: Yanling_Wang@carleton.ca
